LG hasn’t announced a successor to the LG G Flex 2 (yet), but the company has unveiled two new K-series devices at CES which the company hopes will give them better penetration within the “mass-tier” market. Both the LG K10 and LG K7 sport LG’s new 2.5D “barrowed from nature” pebble design, featuring 2.5D Arc Glass, curved edges, woven pattern polycarbonate back panel and rear mounted power and volume buttons.
LG will be releasing multiple variations of each, but the LTE equipped LG K10 will be the best equipped of them all with a 5.3-inch 720p display, 1.14 GHz octa-core processor, 13 megapixel main camera, 8 megapixel front-facing camera, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage and a 2,300 mAh battery. The lower-end LG K7 will also come in LTE and 3G variations with specs topping out with a 5.0-inch FWVGA display, 1.1GHz quad-core processor, 1.5GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, and a 2,125mAh battery.
“Our 2016 K Series is the latest example of LG applying it best mobile technology and premium design philosophy across numerous smartphone categories. Customers equate the LG name with great smartphone imaging technology and we are committed to delivering on that flattering expectation.”
LG has not released pricing or availability details for the LG K7 and LG K10, but we will likely see both devices show up in global markets in the first quarter of this year at quite reasonable prices.
LG K Series smartphones will be the first to offer LG’s glossy pebble design language, a contemporary, stylish look with a curved, modern finish aimed at a younger audience. The glossy pebble design is complemented by LG’s new 2.5D Arc Glass for a smooth and seamless style that could only be made possible because the sides of K Series smartphones are free of button clutter. With design cues borrowed from nature, the K10 and K7 feel premium, but they are affordably priced.
The back cover features an intricate woven pattern for optimal grip and confidence when on the move. And because consumers on the move tend to enjoy an active lifestyle, the K Series is designed for multimedia creation and consumption in mind. Its roomy display shows images and videos captured with the most advanced camera on a smartphone in this category — 13-megapixel on the rear and 8-megapixel on the front of the K10.
Featuring LG’s popular Gesture Shot and Gesture Interval Shot, taking selfies is easy and hassle-free. Gesture Shot enables users to take photos simply by raising an open hand in front of the lens and then clenching it into a fist. Closing one’s hand twice automatically leads to the Gesture Interval Shot and will produce four consecutive photos. Both devices are equipped with Flash for Selfie on the front to help users capture priceless moments whenever and wherever the need might arise, even in the dark.
“Our 2016 K Series is the latest example of LG applying it best mobile technology and premium design philosophy across numerous smartphone categories,” said Juno Cho, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “Customers equate the LG name with great smartphone imaging technology and we are committed to delivering on that flattering expectation.”
Visitors to CES 2016 will be able to see the LG K10 and K7 for themselves at LG’s booth in Hall #8204 of the Las Vegas Convention Center from Jan. 6-9.
